The proposed bill would update current Arizona traffic laws by introducing a new section (28-711) that mandates the installation of speed inhibiting devices for individuals whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked due to specific violations, excluding those related to photo enforcement systems. This new provision would replace existing penalties that typically result in license suspension for excessive speeding and similar offenses. The bill specifies the conditions under which courts may order the installation of these devices, such as for first-time violations or excessive points on a driving record, and establishes that offenders are responsible for the costs associated with installation and maintenance.

Additionally, the bill would amend current statutes to include compliance requirements for manufacturers, such as submitting proof of installation and ongoing calibration to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). It introduces penalties for operating a vehicle without the required device and allows individuals to request a hearing if their license is suspended due to non-compliance. Overall, the bill aims to enhance road safety by providing an alternative to traditional penalties while ensuring accountability for offenders and manufacturers alike.
